Awards: Gold, BBQ Book of the Year, NBBQA Awards, San Antonio, Texas (2024)
Barbecue Fusion is the third book from Australian pitmaster Adam Roberts, a collection of more than 50 wood-fired recipes that run global flavours through chicken, lamb, pork, beef, seafood, vegetables and game on everyday smokers and grills. It won 1st place, gold, in the BBQ Book of the Year category at the 2024 NBBQA Awards in San Antonio, Texas.
An Aussie pitmaster takes on the world
Adam Roberts helped build Australia's competition barbecue scene from the ground up, and this is the book where he lets loose. Instead of sticking to Texas or Kansas City rules, he borrows flavours from kitchens around the globe and runs them through smoke and fire. The result looks restaurant-ready but still cooks on the gear most of us already own.
What's inside
Recipes are grouped by protein, chicken, lamb, pork, beef, seafood, vegetables and game, with more than 50 dishes in all. There's also a quick guide to using the Firehawk Grills range of smokers and grills, and the techniques carry straight over to other off-the-shelf cookers.
Adam's aim is to help you do wood-fired barbecue better, fancier or simpler, depending on how much time you've got. Expect bold marinades, glazes and garnishes, and food styled with real restaurant polish.
Who it's for
Written for every level, from first-time smoker owners to qualified chefs. If you've nailed brisket and pork shoulder and want new territory, it's ideal, and if you're just starting out the clear method keeps you on track.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict
🏴☠️ Darryl's Secret: Port-to-Port Wing Glaze
Five pantry staples, one passport stamp per wing.
You'll need: 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, juice of 1 lime, 1 grated garlic clove, 1 tsp chilli flakes, sesame seeds
Do this:
- Whisk the soy, honey, lime, garlic and chilli in a small pan and simmer for 2 minutes until glossy.
- Cook your wings indirect until nearly done, then brush with the glaze for the last 10 minutes, turning twice.
- Finish with sesame seeds and an extra squeeze of lime.
Why it works: Salty, sweet and sour in one coat, and glazing late means the honey lacquers rather than burns.
